Simplot Australia is a leading Australian food manufacturer and the home of Australia’s favourite food brands.

Simplot Australia began in 1995 when the J.R. Simplot Company expanded into Australia, acquiring iconic brands like Birds Eye, Leggo’s, Chiko and Edgell. The company has continued to grow with the addition of brands like John West and Lean Cuisine.

Today their uniquely diverse business includes vegetable, meat and seafood manufacturing operations that supply chilled, frozen and shelf stable products to Australia’s major supermarkets and Foodservice customers.

Simplot has many rigorous measures in place at its manufacturing plants to ensure that the food manufactured is safe for consumption. They have adopted the HACCP methodology and certification system, this used in conjunction with other global and customer standards, assures customers that the manufacturer’s facility has met the highest standards of sanitation and cleanliness, food safety, ingredient quality and manufacturing integrity.

“We deliberately sought out a company like Quality Associates where both the technical and practical experience was sound. This combined with having an intimate knowledge of key customer requirements means that we will get the best quality and most practical solution for our business.”
